Hm, every time I reboot I'm prompted to run fsck because the last mount 
time is in the future. Is this the reason?

# date
Wed Apr 25 23:36:41 BST 2012

# sudo hwclock
Wed 18 Apr 2012 03:01:17 BST  -0.057402 seconds

My system is a VirtualBox VM that relies on the user-space VBoxService 
process to syncronise the time from the host to the guest. Is VBoxService 
itself supposd to sync the system time to the hardware clock?
